Founders Performance

Another great review for founders performance. I purchased some rear suspension components including rear single adjustable control arms, adjustable panhard rod, and relocation brackets along with new hardware. Components seem to be of a very high quality for the money. Super fast shipping. I have had questions about my purchase and the customer service has been top notch.

I am really looking forward to see how they perform in the long run and will continue to use founders for what aftermarket parts they offer for our vehicles. Would highly recommend to anyone that is out there sittin on the fence of going with some aftermarket peices for their f body!!!

Re: Founders Performance

Yea i have their strut mounts and LCARB's and love them. Very nice parts for the money. Why buy factory replacement mounts for 108 when for 50 dollars more you can have solid bearing mounts with more adjustment from Founders.

Re: Founders Performance

Just received 2 things from Founder's.....a PHB relocation bracket and an adjustable PHB w/poly bushings. Both were packed very well...not a scratch in the paint, and built every bit as good as all the others. Shipped in a week.

Of course, I've bought from them before....If you're looking for a relocation bracket...these are the guys you want one from....much cheaper than the others...but with equal or better quality. A++

Re: Founders Performance

Pics of Founders pan hard, lcarbs, Lca, and CC plates. The only thing better than the products and price was the service.

Re: Founders Performance

Long time Founders customer here. I have purchased alot of things for my past thirdgens from Founders, Always great products and comparable if not better to other companys products but at a fraction of the price..

Glad others are purchasing and being satisfied with their products.

I recently ordered LCARBs for my 83. Placing an order with strut mounts and PHB/LCA kit next week, Its just nice being able to buy a good PHB, LCA and brackets for the price of a single product of another company...

Re: Founders Performance

I ordered a set of caster/camber plates from them on 3-June. When I hadn't seen a status for 7 working days (12-Jun), I sent them an e-mail with my invoice number (PayPal), and they had the status changed to "shipped" within a couple of hours. I received my package last Saturday, but it had 2 right side plates, all the other hardware was correct. Two more e-mails, including one with photo of my hardware, and replacement was on the way. Received today and installed on the car, great quality parts and prices. Though I never spoke to them on the phone, their e-mail customer service is top notch.
